Features for Days: Info on Apostle Management, Replays, and More!
Hey doods! The S3 Beta is coming soon, and with a bunch of new features! In today’s article, we’re going to talk about some of these new features, including changes to Apostle minting, which is now called Apostle Forging. We’re also going to introduce the Replay Mode, Event Mode, and Apostle Bounties.
A quick and IMPORTANT reminder that the Apeiron Guild Wars (AGW) online Invitational Tournament starts streaming tomorrow! Catch the Semifinals of the SEA region battling it out on our Twitch at 7:15pm UTC+8. Win Ronin project goodies during the commercial breaks, so definitely tune in!
S3 Apostle Forging
Previously, we allowed players to mint their Apostles into NFTs so they could keep their Apostles for future dungeon runs or sell them on our Marketplace. This was known as Apostle Minting, but now it’s being revamped into a system that we’re calling Apostle Forging.
During a dungeon run in S3, you may obtain dungeon Apostles as rewards, and place them into one of your 6 free dungeon slots to bring them out of the dungeon with you. Outside of the dungeon, the Apostles will be saved into your Planet’s Inventory. You can forge these dungeon Apostles in your inventory into Apostle NFTs.
The utility of Apostle Forging is twofold: (1) you’ll be able to switch your Apostle NFTs between Planets by attaching and un-attaching them and (2) your Apostle NFTs will never age or die.
About Apostle Aging: Apostles have a lifespan of 31 days. Over this time, their stats will slowly decrease (this also applies to the stats in PvP). On the 31st day, the Apostle will die. You’ll have the option to either bring your Apostle back to life through a holy revival (costing Soul Gems) or burying the Apostle, removing them from your Inventory forever. Revived Apostles have their age set to 0, resetting their stats back to their original values, and will go through the 31 day aging process again.
Back to Forging. Forging will cost you some $APRS and $ANIMA, and the price will increase when you forge more Apostle NFTs. We’ll have more to share about the prices of Apostle Forging at a later date.
Here’s a breakdown of Forging/Attaching:
Apostle (Not an NFT) - Can ONLY be used with the Planet that found it. Can level up its skills when taken on a dungeon run. Will slowly age and then die after 31 days.
Apostle (NFT & Unattached) - Can be used with ANY Planet that you own. CANNOT level up skills when taken on a dungeon run. Will never age or die.
Apostle (NFT & Attached) - Can ONLY be used with the Planet that it’s attached to. Can level up its skills when taken on a dungeon run. Will never age or die.
Once you have attached an Apostle NFT to a Planet, you will need to Reforge it in order to un-attach it. This will cost a small, fixed amount of $ANIMA. Once the Apostle NFT has been successfully reforged, it returns to the condition of being an NFT & Unattached.
How does this work with PvP? When an Apostle drops from the dungeon, it will only have 1 skill unlocked. It will unlock its other skills by leveling up. An Apostle needs to have all 3 skills unlocked to be used in PvP. Once it has its 3 skills unlocked, the above rules apply, which is to say that if the Apostle is an NFT & Unattached, it can be used by any Planet. On the other hand, if it's not an NFT or if it’s an NFT & Attached to a specific Planet, it can only be used with the corresponding Planet.
The Apostle Forging system will go live with the official launch of S3.
Apostle Bounties
Moving on to the trading of Apostle NFTs. We’re adding a new Apostle Bounties system on our Apostle Marketplace, allowing traders to set bounties for buying or selling Apostle NFTs with requirements.
For bounty creators, you may set several parameters of the Apostle NFTs you would like to buy. This includes Apostle class, first skill, other two skills, lowest skill level, lowest IV, price, and quantity. The bounties created can be canceled in the bounty inventory at any time, but once a bounty hunter submits an Apostle NFT meeting all the requirements, the bounty will be automatically confirmed and complete.
For bounty hunters, you may sort the bounty prices on our Marketplace page to look for the most rewarding bounties, or use your owned Apostles as a shortcut to find bounties with similar requirements. Once you submit an Apostle NFT meeting all the requirements, the bounty will be automatically confirmed and complete.
A platform fee of 4.5% will be charged from the successful completion of a bounty.
We hope that this new feature can further facilitate the Apostle NFT trades on our Marketplace, and help players to find the Apostles they want.
Apostle Bounties will go live with the official launch of S3.
Replay Mode
Ever thought of rewatching your battles? Now you can, with the Replay Mode! After the battle, you’ll find a button saying “replay”, or you may select which battle you would like to replay from your battle history.
In Replay Mode, you can look at the battle from 3 different perspectives, including from your own side, your enemy’s side, and a neutral perspective. You may also choose which round to look at, as well as speed up, or pause during spectating. This gives you chances to understand the battle, without any blindspots, and helps you learn from your experiences. Look carefully at how you move and cast, and maybe you’ll find something to level up your play!
Replay Mode is available now! But it still has a few bugs, so make sure you let us know if you encounter any.
Event Mode
Even though the AGW Guild Leaderboard is over, the competitive hype isn’t over yet! The AGW Invitational online Tournament is happening now, then Leagues are starting up. But what if you want to have your own little tournament? Event Mode is here to help!
In Event Mode, the host of the room will spectate a live match between two players. This gives you and your friends the perfect opportunity to stream the doody madness and the sick plays to your community.
Look for Event Mode launching soon!
